Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 February 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Road Safety (Financial Penalty Deposit) (Appropriate Amount) Order 2009.
Road Safety (Financial Penalty Deposit) (Appropriate Amount) Order 2009
I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way. This is an important point. We are not too worried about foreign lorry drivers. Can the Minister assure me that a motorist will not have his vehicle clamped and immobilised if he has a credit card that works? Will the motorist be taken from where the vehicle is, go with the official to a cash point, draw some money out and then pay the fixed penalty? We do not want a motorist to find himself clamped and have his vehicle immobilised, with all the attendant inconvenience, simply because he does not have the required amount of cash in his pocket, when he can go to a cash machine with his credit card and the official and draw the appropriate amount of money out of the cash machine.
